resources, training and co-ordination to reach people in time. Sustainable lifesaving equipment. Drowning overwhelmingly affects the countries with the fewest resources to prevent it. Many organisations struggle because they do not have the rescue equipment they need. Swim survival and water safety. Children in low and middle income countries may miss out on this life saving learning. From understanding the problem to measuring the impact of a particular project, research underpins every new intervention. Resources Lifesavers worldwide can download our free guides to help develop their own services. Since 2012, the RNLI has been working with partners in low- resource areas, helping them to set up rescue and prevention services. Together we’ve tested and developed a series of free, open- source materials to help others do the same. Resources that are available online include;
Rescue Board This manual provides step-by- step instructions on how to build a rescue board in a low-resource setting, including all the materials and equipment needed.
Rescue Throwline Manual The primary aim of this is to equip people with the skills and knowledge to manufacture the
where we can help the most. At present the RNLI is working with other organisations in Bangladesh, Ghana, Greece and Zanziba
rescue throwline in-country.
The Beach Lifeguard Service Implementation Guide aims to guide organisations with the background and knowledge to assist them with developing a Beach Lifeguard Service. This resource has been designed as a guidance document and can be adapted to suit the local environment. It includes chapters on Casualty assessment, the unconscious casualty, treatment of injuries and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is designed for organisations based in low-resource areas with limited access to equipment.
The international drowning
problem is vast, but we know that simple, inexpensive solutions are very effective.
Where we are working. Drowning is a killer that affects every country to some degree. But when just 25 countries share 80% of the world’s drowning burden, it’s important to direct our attention and resources
Using funds well The international drowning problem is vast, but we know that simple, inexpensive solutions are very effective. A small amount spent on overseas projects can change countless lives. During any project, we help partners with organisational development to ensure that they can continue without the RNLI’s support - in particular finding sustainable ways to fund their services in future.
We are also seeking funds from a wide range of other organisations, trusts, foundations, businesses and donors to support our international work. In 2017 we spent £2.9M on international projects. At just 1.6% of the RNLI’s total expenditure, this covers everything from advocacy work at the United Nations to setting up a training pool in Cox’s Bazar. Supporters can specifically donate to the International Lifesaving work of the RNLI by following the links on the www.
